With time running out in New Mexico’s Legislative session, only one bill has been passed by both chambers.

A shakeup was in store for the Roundhouse this year after Republicans took over the New Mexico State House for the first time since the 1950s.

With Democrats in control of the Senate, a deadlock has become a theme for this Legislative session.

So far, Gov. Susana Martinez has only signed the bill that funds the Legislative session.

KOAT’s political analyst Brian Sanderoff said Democrats and Republicans have had trouble finding common ground.

“Both the House and the Senate are jockeying for position. They're holding each other’s bills up as hostage and they're doing so until they work out some sort of arrangement to let all things flow,” Sanderoff said.

On Tuesday night, party politics loomed large again inside the Roundhouse.

The Right to Work bill, which affects the relationship between employers and workers' unions, was blocked in a Senate committee. The vote was 5-3 along party lines.

Some other important issues still on the table include the request for $2 million from Bernalillo County District Attorney Kari Brandenburg to hire staff so she can keep up with new case management rules sent down by New Mexico’s Supreme Court that are designed to move cases along faster.

As Target 7 found, the new rules have led to dozens of cases being dismissed due to prosecutors missing new evidence deadlines.

A push to get more funding for the Children, Youth and Families Department is still in limbo as well, and most importantly, the state’s budget still needs to be passed.

The state constitution requires the legislature pass a funding bill by the end of the session or Martinez will be forced to call a special session.

Another theme of this session has been political jabs from both sides of the aisle.

This week, House Republicans were quick to highlight Democratic Rep. Ken Martinez's comment regarding rape as "sometimes just drunken college sex.”

On Tuesday, House Democrat Stephanie Maez released a statement asking for an apology from Republican House Majority Leader Nate Gentry. Maez claims Gentry passed around a photo of her with what she called sexist writing on it.

Maez said a fellow party member saw the photo after Gentry passed it around when two Republicans broke party lines and supported a bill being pushed by Maez.

That photo has not been seen in public and Maez tells us she hasn’t seen it herself. However, she admits that lawmakers should be worried about bigger things.

"I think we need to focus on policy and making good policy and truly representing the people of New Mexico,” Maez said.

House Republican Kelly Fajardo weighed in on the lack of bills passed with a statement she sent to Target 7.

“From day one, our House majority has focused on legislation to put New Mexico’s families first by bringing Republicans and Democrats together around an agenda to create more jobs, improve our schools and crack down on child abuse,” Fajardo said.

Even with the gridlock, it’s not uncommon for a session to have so few bills passed in its final days.

But Sanderoff said it’s hard to know if more will get done this session with such a tense atmosphere in the Roundhouse.

“What would be bad is if both parties can’t settle their differences and no more bills flow,” Sanderoff said.
